Their money was on the dads! Networking and Casino Night celebrated Father’s Day on June 20 at the Rishavena Adult Day Care, a family-owned facility — the owners are Vena Laurent-Hilaire, husband Dr. Marc Hilaire, and brother Alix Laurent — offering respite care and daily activities to local seniors.

This year’s fundraiser honored local pols and businessmen for their outstanding dedication and devotion to the Flatbush community, including Borough President Adams, Democratic leader Frank Seddio, Councilmen Alan Maisel (D-Flatbush), Mathieu Eugene (D-Flatbush), and Jumaane Williams (D-Flatbush); Rev. Msgr. Jamie Gigantiello, Kato Elijah Jenkins, and Samuel Dunston, Sr.

Guests and honorees were treated to games of chance, including card tables and slot machines, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and a fun night of networking and schmoozing.

Rishavena Adult Day Care [2260 Flatbush Ave. and Fillmore Avenue in Flatbush; (718) 251–1231].
